Stearns County MN Government

Set against a backdrop of rolling hills, woodlands, and scenic lakes, Stearns County is the best of both city and country. We are considered a commercial and tourism gateway because of our strategic position in central Minnesota along Interstate-94, a major travel corridor. The city of St. Cloud is the county seat. Stearns County is a thriving area whose vibrant communities are always changing and whose government continues to provide services to its growing population.
